I’ve had most of my decorating done for a while now, but had been putting off posting pictures because I wanted to do some more things and change others.
I’ve since ran out of gas and decided to leave the rest for next year’s decorating.
I did find time for a new wreath for the front door.
I was inspired by this wreath I found from Martha Stewart.

Martha always does it up right!
I kept the entry pretty simple this year – aka I got tired of fiddling with it and just walked away 😀
I swapped out last years’ red ribbons for burlap this time and like it SO much better.
The living room’s Christmas decor got a makeover from last year as well.
Red tree ribbon went bye-bye and was replaced with black and white striped grosgrain.
Red ornaments also got left in the box and I stayed with a silver and gold scheme.
And, the red trimmed tree skirt just got covered up with burlap sacks 🙂
If anyone is thinking I’m sending a pregnancy hint with the 4th stocking I’m not, it’s our dog’s 😀
Who, by the way, made an appearance in almost all of the pictures in this post. I feel like it could be Where’s Waldo!
That’s pretty much it!
There’s a little decor up in the dining room, but it’s overshadowed by the piles of junk still hanging out on the table 🙂
Merry Christmas!!!
I’ll be linking up to these fab parties!

everything looks wonderful!!…..wondering how you hung the wreath…did you tuck the burlap on the other side of the door??…we just painted our front door and so hubby says not to hang a hook this year….thx for sharing your holiday home…xo, Mariaelena
Ah, I love it all. Great idea to use the ribbon on your tree. Everything looks so simple and beautiful. That's my kind of Christmas decor!
Simply beautiful. Great job!
Shelley, I adore that wreath! I have had it pinned, but haven't made it. Even if I had made it, it wouldn't have turned out as lovely as your stunner. I also like the branches with ornaments.
That wreath is STUNNING! I like it better than Marthas! I pinned it to! I also really like the use of your ribbon as garland. It really makes the tree special. Everything is just beautiful!
Your home is gorgeous! I love the wreath too! Visiting from DC

Hello! I just stumbled across your blog, and I'm in love. I saw in the images of your little girl's room that you had noted the paint color so I'm guessing that you've listed your living room wall color somewhere, but I can't find it. 🙁 Could you share that with us?
Thanks!
Your newest, biggest fan! 🙂
